I need to find a solution for a friend who wants to be able to check inventory or even pull merchandise from the shelves in his warehouse and he'd like to be able to use a barcode scanner. He wants a wireless one.

I have absolutely NO idea about any of this. Can you please give some suggestions? How does this work? What would be a good brand? Is there special software needed to integrate the scanner's output to his inventory system? I can't seem to find a guide that will explain the whole process so that I can advise my friend and he's absolutely computer illiterate, so he needs my help... yikes!

I signed up for this a while ago, when I was just going crazy signing up for all sorts of weird magazines. I have a bunch of back issues just sitting around. I flipped through them enough to know that they discuss inventory management solutions. PM me if you're interested and I'll send them for whatever shipping cost. They're not very thick. Maybe they'd be helpful.

What type and size is your friend business?

Has your friend talked with his competitors on what they use or they don't use scanner period?

Like IT in an office environment, support and training must also be taking in consideration.

Thank you for the offer wurlybird, I'll check the link first & get back to you if I need them (I'm at work now, and can't take the time to investigate it just now)

Kas, my friend is in the perfume business, and perfume bottles have barcodes that he can use to scan his inventory.... I would help him with the support & training. It's a small place. 3 people in a warehouse. But he's thinking of doing some wholesale with it....

I found a couple of links. hope this would be helpful monga
